And see to the things on the farm2

gone;
OF course I believed 1t was SO.

You've st yed long enough in the capital there
You're much safer under my wing.

When will you get through with your bills and
And speeches. by this one and that?
The voice of your Betsey is calling you, dear;
It's nearly the time to make soap;
And some of the women are saying. my love,
I'm giving you quite too much rope.
They say there is desperate flirting up there,
With widows and mai S not a few,
l haven been XII sed since the morning you
left,
But Joseph, how is 1t with you?
Come home! Come home.
You hear me, You rascal: Come home!

Two dollars day Is too sua /;
My pockets are always empty By noon,
Though absent but once curing call.
I don't want to be elected again, my dear,
To iustin care no to 60;
For once or twice since I've been here, fear,
forgot that my name was 10.
Wife, dear wife, in truth / wi confess
Tn Austin is q very fast town,
But I'm co iUg home, dear, with new dress,
AN exq .isitely charming new gown.
